Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. is delighted to announce Serve Your City / Ward 6 Mutual Aid as the beneficiary of the hotel’s Tenth Annual FANtastic 5K and Silent Auction. On Saturday, October 30, 2021, hotel guests, colleagues, visitors, and locals are invited to lace up their running shoes in support of advancing southwest, D.C. youth.

“As the brand ambassador for Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C., I am excited to team up and assist in raising funds for a commendable organization like Serve Your City. Providing underprivileged youth in D.C. with life-changing experiences, many of which are offering access to sports and costly equipment, is dear to my heart,” stated Andi Sullivan, captain of the Washington Spirit.

For more than a decade, Serve Your City, a non-profit organization, has provided life-changing experiences and opportunities for at-risk D.C. students. Serve Your City seeks to offer black and brown youth in Ward 6 with inspiring experiences, tutoring, after-school enrichment, and lifesaving support.
